All White Everything

zimermman71-950x1425

I’m forever inspired by white on white.  I don’t think it’s actually possible to ever tire of it.  It’s timeless, it’s chic, it just seems to always resonate with me!  So here’s some style inspiration for you, and my selections of some white separates that I would love to mix and match below (you’ll be seeing a few of them in upcoming style posts).   Happy peeping!  xx- Sarah

White and Blue and Summer All Over

rebecca_minkoff_skirt__a_house_in_the_hills-3

This outfit is the thing my Summer dreams are made of:  lightweight, breezy, fun.  I just don’t understand why there are any other seasons?!  I kid, I kid!   Kind of.  I love Spring, Winter and Fall, don’t be sad weather lovers!  But I probably would live in perpetual Summer if I could.  Which is a big part of the reason we moved to Palm Springs.  I sometimes joke that it’s really a perfect #caftanlife here in the desert, and that I’m a wildly happy muumuu wearer. Remind me of this come the end of September when I’m complaining about wanting to cozy up in furry oversized sweaters, ok?  Sometimes I fall trap to that grass is always greener thing!  #muumuusforever  xx- Sarah  PS- I just made some major updates to the shop page, pop over and see what else is on my absurdly long wishlist!

Shop this outfit:  Skirt: Rebecca Minkoff, shirt:  Viva Aviva, shoes: Brian Atwood (sold out but another color I love here and a similar style I love here), bag: Chloe, sunglasses: Karen Walker, bracelets: Giles & Brother, Kristen Elspeth, Alexis Bittar, rings: Losselliani, Jules Smith

Elizabeth and James Dress Goodness

ELIZABETH_JAMES_DRESS_a_house_in_the_hills-7

I’ve had this adorable Elizabeth and James dress for a few  months and I wear it nonstop (on casual days with these booties or these sandals).  I wore it to meetings in NY a couple of months ago and had my most embarrassing moment of 2014 when, after getting out of a cab, it somehow got caught up in my jacket exposing my bum to the entire city on a massively busy street corner.  WHOOPS!  And, WHY DID I NOT FEEL THE DRAFT?!  It happens to the best of us?  Please tell me it does!  And many thanks to the kind girl who came up to let me know I was flashing, I owe you a  big one.  xx- Sarah

Shop this outfit:  Dress:  Elizabeth and James, Jacket: Zara (old), Shoes: Brian Atwood,  Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim, Sunnies: Sunday Somewhere, Rings: Losselliani, Bracelets: Tory Burch (old) + Kristen Elspeth

IRO T-Shirt Dress

A dress that is essentially a silky oversized tee shirt that you can eat 5 slices of pizza and still look cute in is MY KIND OF DRESS!  I mean, really- this pattern, the fabric, the colors, the fit.  So good!  Three cheers to loose dresses and pizza in the Summer!  xx- Sarah

Well Hey Now Maxi Skirt

issa_maxi_skirt_a_house_in_the_hills-1

We made it to Thursday!  Or at least that’s how I’m feeling this week (insert worried emoji face here).  Lou and I both got sick with colds a couple of weeks ago, and then that turned into bronchitis for both of us.  Our acupuncturist said that the emotion associated with the lungs is grief, so that’s why our bodies weren’t able to shake this little bug off the way they should have been.  Crazy, right?  I’ve never had bronchitis before, and it’s unusual to get it in the middle of the summer (and especially in the desert!), so it makes sense to me.  We’re finally getting back to normal but I feel like we’ve been in survival mode for days!  Last night we ventured out for our first date night in forever, and it was amazing to be out and about!   All of that is neither here nor there, because this is really about this amazing high-waisted maxi skirt that I ordered a few weeks back when Shopbop had their amazing sale on sale deal going on (I kind of live for those 25% off sale items days)!  I think we’re soulmates.  xx- Sarah
